I am a descendant of Samuel Woods & Sophia Boal. I beleive the parents of Samuel Woods
are John Woods & his first wife Mary. I have the will of John Woods in which he lists
his heirs as:
1) [second] wife Jane
children:
2) Samuel Woods 3) Elizabeth Woods married to Dan Caldwell
4) Mary Woods married to James Caldwell
5) Ann Woods married to James Rusel
6) Sarah Woods
7) Nancy Woods
8) John Woods
Executors: Dan Caldwell of White Deer Twp, Union Co.
Andrew Ferguson of Turbot Twp, Northumberland Co.
According to the cemetery transcription for Warrior Run Presbyterian Cemetery, Elizabeth
(Woods) Caldwell d. 1820 age 36, therefore born ca. 1784. Dan Caldwell d. 1836 age 61,
therefore born ca. 1775.
This seems to be the Dan Caldwell that would have immigrated in 1798 that you mentioned.
But your letter states that Dan married to ? Woods is the grandson of the immigrant. I
would be very interested in a copy of the whole letter, if you would share it with me.
Thank you,
Alicia Blackman
